The Hedonist | comment |
This character is strongly motivated by a desire to be amused and experience various kinds of pleasure. The character doesn't consider even their own long-term needs, much less the (short-term or long-term) needs of others. Personal instant gratification is the goal here. Sometimes Flanderized so that the pursuit of pleasure becomes the character’s only defining trait, doing whatever feels good without any thought of the consequences. "I Did It for the lulz" might just as well be their motto. Such a childish mentality is often justified by the character actually being a child. If the character is an adult, they might be a sex maniac... lovable or otherwise. While usually Played for Laughs, this kind of character is sometimes played as a Straw Character against Ethical Hedonists or people with a sexually hedonistic lifestyle. Unlike these real hedonists, a childishly hedonistic character is not prone to consider other people's happiness, or even their own long-term happiness: instant gratification is gold. If it feels good right now, live it up! Why waste time on thinking? Thinking isn't fun! Unless you are thinking about how to get what you want as quickly and effortlessly as possible, that is. It's interesting to compare this general viewpoint of some ancient hedonists, who believed you should basically do the opposite; true happiness is the opposite of desires, which cause pain. So you shouldn't do anything like this as that won't lead you to real happiness (see Epicureanism, for instance) — or at most, indulge only in moderation, and not when it causes greater pain. You can imagine any of the characters on this page laughing ruthlessly at the idea. Compare It Amused Me and Protagonist-Centered Morality (for this trope played sympathetically). For Happiness is another related trope (and a relatively Good Counterpart to the trope). This trope is one of the defining traits of a sociopath and is also commonplace with the Straw Nihilist and the Psychopathic Manchild. Sub-Trope of the Sins of Lust and Gluttony. |

Penny Dreadful gives us Dorian Grey, a spectacularly bored immortal who loves nothing more than the pursuit of pleasure and newness in any and all forms. Sometimes this is expressed as throwing extravagant balls, having photoshoots that turn into amateur pornography, attending seances, or even hosting an all-female insurrectionist movement in his mansion. | |

Lorelei, the younger sister of The Mighty Thor villainess Amora the Enchantress. Amora is actually the more sympathetic sibling, since she does on some level genuinely care about a few other people and regrets that she ruined her best opportunities for happiness with her villainous ways. Lorelei is basically a younger version of Amora minus any of her redeeming qualities. When Amora tried to persuade Lorelei to change her ways, Lorelei pondered it for a moment before laughing it off. | |

The Ashwood Abbey compact of Hunter: The Vigil is this. They started out as just a bunch of bored rich types, until they made the mistake of defiling a werewolf-controlled locus with one of their orgies. Their founder decided the proper response was to arm himself with heavy artillery, start another orgy, then kill the werewolves when they came to repeat their cleansing. Ashwood Abbeyists basically hunt monsters for the fun of it, often seducing them (and/or outright raping them), torturing them and murdering them. Of course, this does bite them in the ass; their fondness for "experimentation" means they often wind up on the losing side (disemboweled while trying to rape werewolves, ghouled because of their fondness of drinking vampire blood for the rush, mind-controlled by mages, etc.), and most other hunters despise them to the point many regard them as being just as bad, if not worse, than the monsters themselves. | |

Mr. Peanutbutter from BoJack Horseman is an Anti-Nihilist who believes that life is miserable, so you should just deny anything that's wrong and focus on the exciting parts. As a result, he's a happy-go-lucky manchild who inevitably drives away every woman in his life with his constant exhausting antics, as trying to better himself for his loved ones is too much work. | |

The Simpsons: In "Bart's Inner Child", a self-help guru gets the entire town going on this motto — specifically, acting like Bart. The whole thing falls apart at the festival celebrating this newfound freedom, the main catalyst being when a handyman decides he didn't "feel like" greasing the Ferris wheel so it wouldn't fall off its hinges and go on a rampage. | |

Time Squad: The Larry 3000 seems to split being The Spock and The Hedonist about 50/50. He gives a good show of being uptight and prissy, and the casual viewer might mistake him for being the Only Sane Man to Tuddrussel's Boisterous Bruiser, but truthfully, a nice chunk of the mission hang-ups happen as a result of him getting distracted and siding with whomever is messing up history if they promise more fun than fixing it would. | |

Calvin and Hobbes: Calvin desperately wants to be this and live a life of total self-indulgence (in Hobbes' words), and grates over his parents and society's insistence on things like "discipline" and "morals". Of course, being six years old means his idea of hedonism consists mostly of things like staying up past his bedtime or not having to eat vegetables or go to school. | |

Supernatural: The future version of Castiel in "The End". Having lost his powers and given up on trying to save the world, he turns to copious amounts of drugs and sex to occupy his time. Gabriel (also known as the Trickster) appears to be this, tormenting others for his entertainment, creating women out of thin air, gorging himself on chocolate and other desserts. Then it's revealed that, although he does enjoy it, he actually means some of the lessons he claims to be trying to teach and seems a little miserable under his Trickster persona. Then there's Balthazar (funny how all of these are angels). His reaction to the good guys derailing the Apocalypse is to grab a bunch of valuable weapons, fake his own death and start doing whatever the hell he wants on Earth ("This morning, I had a menage a... what's the French for twelve?"). When Castiel catches up to him, he insists that he's just following the example Cas set. "You showed me we could do anything, so I'm trying everything." Lucifer also shows signs of this in "The End". When he's not killing people, he's taking in the sheer wonder of the world, which he describes as a stunning thing that is beautiful in so many ways. |

In the King of the Hill episode "The Redneck on Rainey Street", Funny Foreigner Kahn becomes a nihilistic version of this. After his daughter Connie is denied from a prestigious school for being Too Qualified to Apply as well as mistreatment from his Bad Boss, Kahn simply gives up on life after seeing that his hard work got him nowhere and starts partying 24/7 with a bunch of Good Ol Boys. He leaves his job, single-handedly brings down property values in his neighborhood by letting the house fall into disarray, and feeds his family fish and squirrels he caught outside while the bank starts to foreclose on their home as he stopped paying the mortgage. It takes a pep talk from Hank highlighting that Connie hasn't given up and neither should he to get him to snap out of it. | |

Third Time Lucky: And Other Stories of the Most Powerful Wizard in the World: Magdelene is a naturally lazy and pleasure-seeking woman. She's content to lounge out in the sun by the sea, have sex with handsome young men and enjoy music usually, mostly getting into wider affairs only when they intrude on her. This avoids having her be a boring Invincible Hero given her vast power, as author Tanya Huff explains, since Magdelene's her own preventative for it. | |

In World's End Harem, billions of men died due to a virus, leaving the women to run the world that collapsed. Five men who are immune and survived were found. Hino Kyouji, the No.1 male, is thrilled with the way the world has become and considers it to be heaven on Earth, where women will make all his sexual fantasies a reality; he shows no concern about repopulating the planet, only for women attending to his pleasures. He matures beyond this when he gets one of the women pregnant and the reality of becoming a father hits him. | |

In Yogi's Treasure Hunt, Top Cat comes across as a hedonist. He assigns Yogi's crew a mission via a TV monitor then says he'd join them if he wasn't tied up with other things needing his attention. Turns out he's living la vida loca unbeknownst the team. | |

In the Planescape setting, the Sensates are a faction dedicated to experiencing every sensation and act that they can — good as well as bad. Many members take this as an excuse to become hedonists; they are looked down on for indulging one sensation—pleasure—to the exclusion of all others, and to blinding themselves to new experiences. These members are commonly sent to a hold the Sensates have in Arborea, where they get to do nothing but blindly indulge their hedonist ways, over and over again for the rest of their lives without ever experiencing anything new (and before you ask, the door is open; anyone sent there can leave any time they want, but so far, nobody has). | |

Arthur Hellsing is apparently even worse about this in Hellsing Ultimate Abridged than in canon — when Seras and Richard found Alucard, both immediately assumed that he was Arthur's gimp, and comments from Alucard himself imply that they weren't too far off. | |

As an Oxford graduate student, Charles Xavier had a large appetite for bedding lovely co-eds and for imbibing liquor, and the latter becomes debilitating after he falls prey to alcoholism. It's part of his psychological maturation to gradually discard his selfish pursuit of sensual gratification and replace it with a selfless For Happiness perspective. | |

Nero Wolfe plays with this trope (at least, if we go strictly by the trope description), in that he is closer to the classical or Epicurean form of hedonism than the "gratify every single urge and impulse you have in an orgy of gluttony" style the trope is commonly referred to (and in some stories he actually has some withering comments to make about this style of hedonism). Nevertheless, his life is carefully arranged to maximise his pleasure and ensure that he is surrounded by things he enjoys as much as humanly possible, and he'd almost have achieved a perfectly harmonious existence if it wasn't for the fact that people keep making him solve murders. | |

Six: Anne Boleyn says she's just out to have a good time, not to hurt anybody. However, her hotheadedness and vanity lead her to make decisions without considering the consequences. After her divorce from Henry, Anne of Cleves spends the rest of her life living in a palace, spending her money, going hunting, dropping in on the English Court whenever she gets bored, and overall doing whatever the hell she wants and relishing the fact that no one can tell her what to do. (This one's Truth in Television, too. Since she didn't fight it when Henry divorced her, Anne got a very good deal — and by all accounts, they were Amicable Exes until he died.) |

He is convinced that what he is doing is fine and that love is about taking what you want (even though it is clearly not what Jeremy wants.)

What little we see of John Corben's character in Superman: The Animated Series in "The Way of all Flesh" shows that he's quite the hedonist. He surrounds himself with luxuries in his prison cell while enjoying gourmet food, all of it courtesy of Lex Luthor. When he gets out of prison and is transformed into Metallo, one of the first things he does is force a kiss on Lois Lane, remarking that he had been thinking about her during his entire stint. His initial joy at being transferred into a superstrong robot body swiftly turns into horror when he discovers that he couldn't feel the kiss. His new form has no sense of taste, touch, or smell. | |

Soul Eater: Giriko spends most of his free time drinking and hitting on female henchmen, he's lazy as sin, and he acts disturbingly touchy-feely with the teenage girl he's attempting to kill. Thanks to his sadistic likening for violence, Stein is accused of this by his Morality Chain Spirit. Even taking Stein's later Character Development into account, he has a point. |

Many Dark Others (no surprise there) but also Light Others exhibit this trait in Night Watch (Series). For the former, it results in part from their philosophy's emphasis on putting self-interest about anything else, but for all Others, a combination of long-lasting youth and disengagement from human society results in boredom that they try to stave off through sensual indulgence. | |

In Black Legion, Telemachon, like all Emperor's Children, is flat-out addicted to pleasure and sensation, to the point of practically begging Nefertari to touch him.context Dark Eldar touch is especially pleasurable to servants of Slaanesh, who wants to eat their souls. Emperor's Children serve Slaanesh. He gets a bit better after Khayon strips him of emotions and then gives them back. | |

Pathfinder: The Rakshasa are a fiendish race of animal-headed humanoids whose obsession with earthly pleasures, materialistic evil, and sadistic manipulation is strong enough to bind them to the material world in a cycle of Born-Again Immortality. The Oni are another fiendish race who form when nature spirits fall from grace, cross the Despair Event Horizon, and become obsessed with earthly pleasures to compensate. The three pillars of their philosophy are Hedonism, Dominance, and Punishing the Undeserving — which, in their view, means almost everyone, since few mortals can match them for materialistic excess. Zutha, the Runelord of Gluttony, was so fond of his various material pleasures that he continued to enjoy them even after his death, using powerful magic to maintain his undead body's ability to experience sensation like he could in life. |

The githyanki are Scary Dogmatic Aliens from the Astral Plane waging a Forever War against the Mind Flayers. As time doesn't pass in the Astral Plane, they're effectively a Society of Immortals that pass the time with a decadent lifestyle, picking up hobbies, arts, and studies in an endless search for novelty when they're not pillaging and raiding other races. After centuries, they developed a hollow culture of shallow and unfinished undertakings, never truly mastering any task or seeing any personal project to completion. This constant interest with novelty was also reflected in their dressing style: githyanki were fond of collecting and wearing extremely ornate and elaborate tokens of their defeated foes. It was common for their armor and weapons to be overly decorated with gems, feathers, precious metals, and other ostentatious ornaments. |

The philosophy of hedonism is briefly discussed in the Philosophy Tube lecture "Jordan Peterson & The Meaning of Life". The lecturer makes the argument that hedonism can be seen as a valid 'meaning of life' because the seeking of enjoyment and pleasure on an entire-lifetime scale can be a valid life's goal. When indulged in moderation, hedonism can be a vital part of self-care. | |

The Lion King (1994): The main conflict from Timon and Pumbaa's part of the story is Simba's conflict over whether to continue his carefree lifestyle with them or to stand up and retake his place as king from Scar. He chooses the latter. On the flip side, Scar became the king of Pride Rock simply because he wanted the job. Soon enough, the Pride Lands become a barren hellhole under his reign, but he blames others for his misery, gets enraged whenever others compare him to Mufasa, and refuses to accept that he's unfit to be a king. |

Graendal of The Wheel of Time was formerly an extreme ascetic type who embraced hedonism as part of a Faith–Heel Turn when she realized that no-one else could live up to her ridiculously high standards—in other words, she's a hedonist out of spite. The other part of her turn was joining the forces of Evil and becoming a member of its elite Standard Evil Organization Squad seeking to bring about The End of the World as We Know It, so naturally her hedonism consists of being a Jerkass Depraved Bisexual and Manipulative Bitch who enjoys screwing with and killing people For the Evulz. At least some of this is actually a form of Obfuscating Stupidity—Graendal explicitly notes in her internal monologue in the later books that while she certainly enjoys her creature comforts, she's not as beholden to them as she wants others to believe and is entirely capable of functioning without them if need be (the screwing with and killing people For the Evulz is pretty genuine, though). | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Robert Baratheon indulged in physical pleasures to cope with losing the love of his life and being stuck with a throne he never wanted. He spends his days gorging, whoring, drinking, and hunting (combining the last two gets him killed in a Hunting "Accident" arranged by his wife) and leaves the responsibilities of ruling to his more competent advisors. Even Robert looks like a choir boy next to the true embodiment of hedonistic excess in the Seven Kingdoms, that being the late King Aegon IV, a.k.a. Aegon the Unworthy. The infamous Dragon King was Robert turned up to 11, living solely to indulge in his excesses. By the time he died at 49, he'd become so fat from eating and drinking that he couldn't get out of bed, and had maggots growing in his skin from his sedentary nature. And that's not even mentioning his all-consuming libido, which managed to cause a full-on civil war thanks to all the bastards he sired during his reign. |

Rather than helping the community they're more interested in using their fame and fortune to do whatever they want while Vought covers for them, to the point that they host a massive annual orgy called "Herogasm". Played for Drama with Queen Maeve and the G-Men, as the former became a Broken Bird trying to fill the void inside her after failing to stop 9/11 while the latter were groomed by a rich, perverted Psychopathic Manchild who gave them everything they ever wanted at the cost of turning them into deviants like him. | |

This is the main theme of Wanted. The hero is happy when he becomes a supervillain and begins randomly insulting and murdering people at will. Oddly enough, the villain also believes this exact same creed — he's frustrated that the current Masquerade prevents appropriately powerful supervillains from simply causing worldwide pandemonium. Also, halfway through the story, the "hero" hits a brick wall when he realizes that 24/7 villainy is tiresome, and his new supervillain girlfriend assures him that their goal wasn't simply to make him the most depraved person who ever lived. | |

Futurama: Hedonism-bot. ("How wonderfully decadent!") How hedonistic is he? He's so hedonistic, he has his solid gold body smothered in chocolate. ("Your tax dollars at work!") Even Bender finds his escapades excessive, openly declaring that he needs to be shut down. The DVD commentary states that he's not simply a hedonistic robot but hedonism itself as a robot, which is why he is not called "Hedonist-bot". It wouldn't have done him justice. ("I apologize for nothing!") Interestingly, despite this, he has never been shown in a negative light, with his only shown harmful action being that his exhaust contributes to global warming. Bender Bending Rodriguez is no slacker in the hedonistic scale either (it's the only thing he doesn't slack on) as he openly enjoys the vices of life with only a fraction of the consequences. This becomes a problem in "Anthology of Interest II", as Bender is turned into a human. Having never learned about self-control, he runs off to indulge in food, women, and booze. When they finally find him a week later, he's become morbidly obese and dies shortly thereafter in the middle of a massive party that he starts. |

Virtually all of the population in Omelas in "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas". It's a city-state of endless drug-fueled parties, races, and sex, and it's not being presented as a strawman. Le Guin seems to think that this is genuinely what everyone would want at all times, anyone who doesn't being dismissed as a prude. The only reason given that anyone would, as the title suggests, walk away, is that they think it's not worth it being Powered by a Forsaken Child. | |

Lucifer (2016): Lucifer. He cares only about having fun and getting to just screw around. The only reason he really helps solve crime with Chloe is because he is either personally invested in the case or because it sounds fun. Also, he enjoys punishing the guilty, so long as it's on his terms. Mazikeen, as well. She's introduced being eaten out by some random guy and is constantly looking for new sexual partners. Lucifer claims that it's because demons are The Soulless and know that when they die there's no afterlife for them. Maze agrees that she lives every moment to its fullest because that's all she's going to get. Eve, as in Garden of Eden and wife of Adam, becomes this when she returns to Earth in season 4. Having spent millennia bored out of her mind in Heaven, she immediately starts indulging in sex, drugs and partying with Lucifer. |

Most characters in Touhou Project have various vices that they indulge in. It helps that the majority of them aren't human. The primary reason why Remilia Scarlet does anything is to relieve her boredom. Yuyuko Saigyouji "lives" for three things: Good food, good drinks and entertainment. Given that she's implied to be the smartest individual in the setting, no small feat given that the people she's contending with, she could be one of the powerhouses in the realm... but why put effort into doing so much work for so little pay-off when it's just much more fun to figure out what's going on before it has even started going on and then watching everyone else scramble to figure it out? Suika Ibuki has not been seen sober for centuries. Her close friend Yuugi Hoshiguma is no better, being a Hard-Drinking Party Girl and Blood Knight whose "job" is to run a hot springs resort in former Hell. Ms. Hinanawi Tenshi wreaks havoc for the sake of getting into the emotional height, something that her people, the Celestials, lack on account of being enlightened. Fairies in general are a more childish take on the trope: They spend their days doing whatever they think would be fun when they wake up in the morning, be it playing or pulling pranks on humans or finding something yummy to eat. In fact, this is the reason why Sakuya Izayoi is effectively the sole person on Remilia's workforce: All the hundreds of fairy maids they've got are completely incompetent at actually doing their jobs because they just do whatever they think is fun. So while they make food (albeit not necessarily of a kind that anyone but them can eat) they never do the dishes. Good thing Remilia doesn't care about her fairy maid's competence but just has them hired because an ojou with a big mansion is supposed to have lots and lots of servants. |

Magic: The Gathering: The color Red is this philosophy to its Tabletop Game conclusion. It has cards that are awesomely damaging to the target... but tends to leave the caster wide open to counterattack (when the spells don't damage the caster, too). Red is passionate and powerful, but the cost of that power is that it doesn't consider the effects and often harms itself. Compare with its allied colors Black, which knows the negative side effects and chooses them anyway, and Green, which is just as primal and wild but is also devoted to the arts of healing. Contrast with opposing colors Blue, which is all about careful thought, and White, which is about order and control (of one's self and others). The (black) vampires on the plane of Zendikar are described as hedonistic. They are also, coincidentally, said to be the most advanced race on Zendikar. Innistrad, a gothic plane, also has vampires, though they are separated into several clans. One clan, Markov, is more hedonistic than the rest. Combine Red and Black and you get people like the Rakdos Guild in Ravnica. The passion of Red and the selfishness of Black creates hedonists that not only don't care about the consequences to themselves but also don't care about who else they might hurt with their debauchery. In the Classical Mythology-inspired Theros, hedonism and revelries are represented by both Red and Green. Satyrs are a particularly duplicitous example, masquerading as festive merry-goers but actually engaging in very depraved revels, and are not above enslaving humans. The planeswalker Xenagos, a satyr from this plane, is actually something of a deconstruction: he was originally a happy go lucky hedonist, but upon ascending he realised how small he was in the grand scheme of things, so he became very bitter and incapable of enjoying the revels anymore. So he became a god. Black-aligned aetherborn of Kaladesh are an interesting take on this trope: they have lifespans of no more than a few years at most (in addition to being able to tell exactly how much time they have left), and thus try to pack as much enjoyment into those few years as they can conceivably manage, chasing pleasure and ending their lives by throwing the biggest parties they can possibly hold. Best exemplified by these two cards:◊ |

Queen's Blade: Menace certainly fits. In her first life, she spent all her time playing with her huge lesbian harem, so much so that she allowed her kingdom to collapse into social decay and corruption without care so long as she could keep partying. Even though this eventually got her killed, after being revived, her sole goal is to rebuild Amara, her former kingdom, and go right back to her endless days and nights of lesbian pleasure. Queen's Blade Grimoire features Hansel, the split personality of Gretel, who enjoys fighting women and having their company. Then there's Despina who kidnaps women and make them part of her personal harem. |

Game of Thrones: King Robert lives for the immediate gratification of food, drink, whores, and combat. King Joffrey Baratheon is an even worse one than Robert. At least Robert was marginally interested in keeping the realm from escalating into further bloodshed. Joffrey, on the other hand, seems fundamentally incapable of perceiving or doing anything outside of his immediate gratification. His deranged, hideous methods of entertaining himself are certainly not helping matters. Oberyn Martell spends most of his leisure time in King's Landing sampling the delights of the best brothel. Daario Naharis loves sex and fighting. |

In Children of the Black Sun, Sympaths in the Akharian Empire are encouraged and expected to pursue lives of pleasure, since they charge their magic from their emotional environment. However, the mechanism which turns an environment of pleasure into magic is soured if anyone involved isn't genuinely happy, so the hedonism in question has to be a generous, ethical, non-selfish kind — pleasure at the expense of others will defeat the purpose. | |

Catarina in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! is all about what's most fun right this second, ranging from gorging herself on sweets until she throws up, to climbing trees in a skirt despite extensive lessons on etiquette, to grabbing people by the shoulders to speak to them at point-blank range the moment she gets excited. Her mother seems to be on the verge of giving up on making her more responsible by the time she's fifteen while her brother just barely manages to keep her under control sometimes. Fortunately for everyone around her, what's the most fun for her happens to usually involve being friendly and chatty, though she definitely could have turned out worse that might as well as having a dumb luck why she still lives yet despite many attempts of her life considering her station among the nobility. In fact, she was supposed to end up as a literal otome game villain too concerned with herself and her shallow interests to ever think about other people. And it's justified as well, since her past life died very young and thus wants to make the most of her life by being this, in addition to making countermeasures to avoid her doom as happened to the original Catarina (which, by the way, was already averted thanks by unwittingly changing the entire script). | |

The titular character in Duckman has an increasingly lengthy list of fetishes and lives solely for his own pleasure. However, it's suggested on occasion that while he was never a saint, he engages in his hedonism to cope with the loss of his wife, and he was a much more decent person when she was alive. | |

The Inklings of Splatoon as a whole are described as leading a largely hedonistic lifestyle. They mostly care about fun, parties, and looking good. It gets to the point that, in the backstory of the game, the Inklings started off at a disadvantage in the Great Turf War because they couldn't wake up early enough in the morning to fend off the Octarians' initial assaults. In the present day, the New Squidbeak Splatoon are the only ones keeping tabs on any threats that face their society, from disgruntled Octarians to genocidal AI. | |

Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000: Slaanesh is literally the manifestation of all the Squick in the universe, while their followers are to a psychopath in it either For the Evulz or because Evil Feels Good. Lest we find the idea of a cult of hedonists even somewhat non-threatening, remember that this is 40K and their idea of a good time probably starts with "violate your intestines through your belly button" and just goes in whatever random direction they can find from there. In 40K, Slaanesh was literally Squicked into existence by centuries of Eldar engaging in ever-more depraved acts of debauchery, reshaping the Warp until they manifested in a humongous Warp storm. The Eldar now refer to Slaanesh as "She Who Thirsts", and take a great many precautions to prevent them from eating their souls on death. While the Craftworld Eldar and the Exodites have renounced their hedonistic ways and follow the path of rigid self-control to keep themselves free of Slaanesh's influence, the Dark Eldar are just as bad as the pre-Fall Eldar, if not worse after they figured that not only is Cold-Blooded Torture fun, but it also allows them to stave off Slaanesh draining their souls. In a dark twist which acts as a metaphor for drug abuse, Slaanesh's followers tend to develop a tolerance to hedonistic indulgence over time. It gets to the point where they have to be constantly pumped full of Chaos-spawned drugs just to feel anything. They're also hard to interrogate, not just in a Too Kinky to Torture sense (although that also shows up a lot): because they're after sensation first and foremost, they actually enjoy the emotions that come with being defeated. In Warhammer, a Sigmarite templar came up with a potion that removed all physical sensation from the drinker, and that was enough to get the cultist to talk (40K Inquisitors use sensory deprivation tanks to the same effect). |

In one of the Judge Dredd crossovers with Batman, an entire cult of hedonists decided to go into self-imposed isolation from the rest of Mega City One in a Megadome, where they could indulge themselves until the end days. Unfortunately, without protection by the Law, this made them easy targets for the Joker and the Dark Judges, who lock themselves in with the cultists and proceed to slaughter them all. As Judge Mortis puts it, he's a "Deadonist". | |

In Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse, Lilith states outright that her driving goal in life is having fun, especially in the forms of lots of food, lots of liquor, and plenty of sex with attractive girls and boys. She is quite capable of getting serious (she doesn't show any signs of her hedonistic side whilst they are fighting for their lives inside the belly of a Stomach Baron, for example), but once she can take things easy, she does so. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Pinkie Pie is a more G-rated example. She lives for parties, sweets, laughter and above all, happiness. Throughout the series, she displays as much interest in making others happy as in her own pleasure (her special talent is in party planning), making her a solid example of an Ethical Hedonist. Discord, as the embodiment of chaos, is also a G-rated example, but way less friendly than Pinkie Pie, at least before his Heel–Face Turn. |

Vorador from the Legacy of Kain series has fully embraced the image of vampires as creatures of indulgence when Kain meets him in Blood Omen. Kain is fairly disgusted with Vorador when he first meets him, quipping that the once great warrior had been defeated by his own hedonism. However, later installments imply that Kain going back in time and changing the past caused Vorador to become more cautious and less indulgent than he was in the original timeline, as the changes Kain made unwittingly resulted in the vampire crusades of old being revived. | |

Many, many characters in The Infinite Loops. Considering that all of them are trapped in a "Groundhog Day" Loop which has no chance of ending any time soon, finding fun things to do is one of the only things that keep many of them from going insane (or more insane). Interestingly for this trope, they all know that they do have limit themselves, since the punishments for going too far are considered a Fate Worse than Death by almost everyone. | |

Stellaris has the Earth Custodianship, an Alternate Timeline where Earth became a World of Silence when humanity surrendered all facets of running civilization, and eventually their free will, to their rogue servitors and were gradually reduced to hedonistic, overgrown children being waited on hand and foot in Gilded Cages while their robotic caretakers expanded into the stars on their behalf. If sent to colonize other worlds by themselves (disabled by default) humans (and by extension all organics that the empire incorporates) will refuse to do any work even in the face of death, with a massive happiness penalty. And when the humans are unhappy, the robots are unhappy. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Liam was just another drunken layabout in 1750s Ireland... until he met Darla, became a vampire (Angelus), and turned his tastes towards inflicting as much misery on human beings as possible. Spike is also hedonistic, but his pleasures are a lot more base: sex, blood and rock and roll (also binge drinking and violence). He maintains shadows of this even post-Heel–Face Turn. When he becomes corporeal after spending time as a ghost, his first act is to greedily gulp down Angel's mug of blood, then ravish Harmony in a nearby office. The general attitude of vampires in the Buffyverse tends to be either cruel, bloody hedonism or joining some kind of cult or secret society. When you can't taste food properly or go outside in the daylight, there's only so much you can do with eternity. |

In The Dinosaur Lords, the religious group called Garden of Beauty and Truth posits that hedonism is what life truly is about, and that one should spend their existence seeking pleasure, arts, love and beauty.

Things get less pleasant for the crew after they learn that they mostly care about their own pleasure and quickly tire and lose interest towards the crew after a while. They also have their own version of Alien Non-Interference Clause, refusing to share technology to a race that doesn't already have it or even using it to help the Voyager shave off a few thousand light years from her journey. | |

Gauron from Full Metal Panic! does pretty much everything For the Evulz, because he gets off on it. Even Kalinin didn't expect Gauron to be such an extreme, insane, depraved pleasure seeker. One ironically humorous moment shows Kalinin thinking to himself that, no matter what, Gauron is a smart pro that would value his life above everything else and would never do stupid things for short term pleasure. And then... a short while later, Gauron is shown getting off on his fight with Sousuke, which culminates in him attempting to commit a double suicide with Sousuke just for the pleasure of it. | |
